This book contains mature themes and references to suicide which could cause sadness or distress for readers. If you would prefer not to read about such topics, or if you are below 15 years of age, we recommend you do not continue reading.
Sometimes to forgive
is to open a cage
To catch a breath
in the misty gaze
To dream a demon
To surrender shadows
twisted between lies
To draw landscapes
To be praised
To be imperfect
To be yourself

Over the course of 2022, a select group of young writers was invited to take part in a year-long writing program at Story Factory. Their goal was to produce a collection of poetry. This is one of the collections produced in these workshops.
Year of Poetry 2022 was supported by the Copyright Agency’s Cultural Fund and Parramatta Leagues Club.
